Guidance and Control

The research in guidance and
control at San Diego State University aim at developing theory,
methods, and advanced algorithms that can autonomously plan and
optimize trajectories, guide and execute the necessary menuvers to
accomplish the mission objectives of an aerospace vehicle. The
applications include both air and space vehicles, The mission
envelope encompasses ascent, on-orbit, and entry, and planetary
landing. A current focus is optimal aerocapture guidance and
integrated entry and powered landing guidance for pin-point entry
and landing of future human Mars missions.
